May I also tell you that you, personally, and the Queen has 
      deepened the respect affectionate regard in which the great majority 
      of Americans holds you in this country. All that is being done 
      in Great Britain and the way it is being done make me feel very 
      futile with respect to our own efforts.
 
      
 
 
At least the monthly production over here is speeding up and 
      will continue to do so.
 
      
 
 
I am spending four days at home over Thanksgiving Day. Early 
      in December I hope to get e bit of a holiday by going over to 
      the Bahamas and several other prospective bases. That destroyer 
      arrangement seems to have worked out perfectly. There is virtually 
      no criticism in this country except from legalists who think 
      I should have been submitted to the Congress first. If I had 
      done that, the subject would still be in the tender care of the 
      Committee's of the Congress:
 
      My wife joins me in sending our best wishes to you and to the 
      Queen.
 
      
 
 
Yours very sincerely
 
      Franklin D. Roosevelt
